Waking to go to the toilet 2/3 times throughout night

[Marmitelover93]

I am 29 and just wondered if this was normal? Does anyone else do this?

I do it at least that many times. Always hve!

also 29 and never go to the toilet through the night

I didn’t at 29 to be honest but at 48 it’s definitely a thing. Do you stop drinking a couple of hours before bed and only drink water (cold drinks) for a couple of hours before that? I don’t always do this but it does help.

Not at 29 but mid 30's I do.

Is this new ie. You never did this before?
Are you drinking more?

That is normal for me. Always has been.

At that age, unless there's something the matter with your blader, it's easy to train yourself out of it. I did - much better for my quality of sleep. Just whenever you're half awake and get the urge, decide to wait a bit more and go back under instead.

How long can you last in the day? I had a bladder of steel when teaching as I never got a break. Also meant I could happily go all night without one which was good because I had a very early start.

Train yourself and don’t drink too much before bed.

Do you have any other symptoms?

Frequently urinating during the night is associated with diabetes ..

But then you would get the same if you drank a lot on the evenings , had a weak or small bladder , had always emptied your bladder as soon as you felt any pressure on it or were a light sleeper so I'd not worry about that unless you have other medical concerns

I'm 40 and never get up for a wee in the night.

It can be an indicator of sleep apnoea.

Do you drink much caffeine or alcohol in the evening? That will make it worse.

I am 35 and always have coffee before go to bed and don't wake up for wee during night.

I have given birth to three children vaginally and I honestly thought that my bladder will be weak but it surprised me.

You need a check for type 1 diabetes asap
